NEI Plus State Team Leader (Bauchi) (Co-Secretary) Bauchi State Education Accounts – Public Sector Subaccount -2013-2014 & 2014-2015 Report iv Foreword State Education Accounts (SEA) is a transparent framework for measuring education expenditure and comparing them to policy directions. The SEA III provides a snapshot by gathering information on all spending from public and donor sources and measures the ‘financial pulse’ of the education system answering four key questions: who is financing education (financing sources)?, how much do they spend (financing agents)?, how are funds distributed across different education providers, levels and activities?, and who benefits from or received the services (providers and uses)?. The State Education Account (SEA) was conducted in Kano, Zamfara, Sokoto and Bauchi. Luckily enough, Bauchi and Sokoto states have conducted the second round of SEA and now the third one has been conducted in Bauchi and Sokoto states, respectively.

We would also like to acknowledge the technical assistance and expertise provided to the team by Dr. Deepika Chawla, an international consultant.

We also want to acknowledge the efforts of the Steering Committee headed by the Honourable Commissioner Ministry of Education who steered the SWG brilliantly and has given all the required policy support that made this study possible. Last, but not the least, is to solicit for the Approval of his Excellency, the Executive Governor, Barr.

Developed by the Ministry of Education, Bauchi State, with assistance from the USAID funded Northern Education Initiative Plus project (The Initiative) this subaccount maps the flow of funds as well as estimates all expenditures for formal and non-formal education from pre-primary to tertiary levels in the public sector.1 This report provides a brief overview of the Education system in Nigeria in general, and in Bauchi State in particular; describes the State Education Accounts (SEA) methodology and the boundaries and classifications used for the implementation of the study; and presents the major findings as well as the conclusions and policy recommendations from this study. State Education Accounts (SEA), using the National Education Accounts methodology, are a transparent framework for measuring education expenditures and comparing them to policy directions. The SEA provide a snapshot by gathering information from public, private and donor sources, of all spending for a specific time period and measure the “financial pulse” of an education system by answering four key questions: Who is financing education (Financing Sources)? How much do they spend (Financing Agents)? How are funds distributed across different education providers, levels and activities? Who benefits from or receives the services (Providers and Uses)? Data are presented in standardized, user-friendly matrices that can be easily interpreted by policy makers and allow for comparisons of relevant indicators between states and internationally. This SEA subaccount in Bauchi State was organized and conducted by a State Working Group (SWG) established by the Bauchi State Ministry of Education involving 21 staff members of the State, and other stakeholders including one member of the National Association of Proprietors
